Gov. Tony Evers Introduces Bill To Remove The Term “Mother” From State Law in Favor Of “Inseminated Person”
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’s office introduced a bill on Friday afternoon that would change the way a Wisconsin state law addresses biological women and men.
According to the bill known as 2025 Senate Bill 45, which was first reported on by conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell, Section 3106 contains numerous examples of terms such as wife, husband, mother, and father being crossed out and removed in favor of terms like spouse, person, and even inseminated person.
The bill pertains to “state finances and appropriations, constituting the executive budget act of the 2025 legislature,” and the request for the language changes to be made isn’t introduced until pages 1,766 and 1,767.
The movement in mainly Democratic controlled states to change or remove these terms from state law is not new, as the state of Massachusetts introduced and made into law “The Massachusetts Parentage Act” last August, which ensures “legal parentage equality” for children born to parents “without regard to the marital status, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation of their parents or the circumstances of their birth, including whether they were born as a result of assisted reproduction or surrogacy.”
Additionally, the Massachusetts bill mandated that state parentage laws exclude terms like “father” and “mother” and substitute them with more “inclusive” ones like “parent” or “the person who gave birth.”
Other states that passed similar legislation in recent years include Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
